Acer Inc., one of the world's largest manufacturers of laptops, desktops, tablets, and other electronic devices, currently has six laptop families. The Travel Mate P2 group is the Goldilocks of mid level workers and performance range: not too hot, so it doesn’t need extra power for gamer or engineers, and not too cold, so it eschews smaller sizes and older CPUs. This box hits that nostalgic sweet spot for users looking for good power (i5 CPU from Intel), size (15.6-inch screen), and an optical drive (believe it or not). Other P2 models include 14- and 17.3-inch models, and i3 processors to save some shekels.
